He wrote in English.
Earlier English monarchs and official documents were usually in Latin or Anglo‑Norman French; Henry V’s letters used English (reflecting the rising status of English in government and public life). The other options are wrong — the Gutenberg press came later, dictionaries weren’t the reason, and while paper existed, the language change is the key difference.
